Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the treatment of parasitic arthropod infestations of animals.
  • a number of parasites are known to infest animals. These parasites can be great nuisances to both the animals and their owners. Treatment of animals to prevent infestation by parasites, or to reduce or control the proliferation of these parasites, especially ectoparasites of animals such as ticks in animals is thus important.
  • Hyalomma spp. having a similar or slightly lower sensitivity to tested acaricides compared to other ticks (e.g. Haemaphysalis spp., Rhipicephalus spp.).
  • Ticks of the genus Hyalomma are endemic in semi-arid regions across Asia, Africa and Europe. They affect livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, horses, camels, dromedaries, but also pets such as dogs or cats, and humans.
  • Hyalomma species worldwide, with species-specific distribution and prevalence.
  • Hyalomma species for livestock and pets are the following: Hyalomma anatolicum, Hyalomma dromedarii, Hyalomma lusitanicum, Hyalomma marginatum, and Hyalomma truncatum.

  • tick infestation means the presence of at last one tick on the animal’s coat. Generally tick infestation causes harm or risk to the infested host animal and conditions associated with or caused by one or more (parasitic) pathogens; said conditions include clinical conditions (parasitoses) and sub-clinical conditions.
  • treatment of parasitic infestation thus includes both the treatment of parasitoses and the treatment of sub-clinical conditions.
  • the treatment of a parasite infestation generally implies the suppression of parasite burden of the animal below that level at which economic loss occurs.
  • Treating (parasitic) infestations means to partially or completely inhibit the development of (parasitic) infestations of an animal susceptible to (parasitic) infestation, reduce or completely eliminate the symptoms of infestations of an animal having infestations, and/or partially or completely cure infestations of an animal having infestations. This can be achieved by alleviating or reducing pathogen numbers such as parasite numbers in or on an animal.

  • Preventive treatment of an animal against a parasite infestation with Hyalomma spp. designates a treatment made before the animal has been exposed to or in contact with the parasite, especially infectious stages of Hyalomma spp. ticks. , or after said exposure/contact but before development of the detrimental conditions (e.g.
  • preventive treatment in relation to a population of animals, designates the treatment of all members of the population even after the disease or condition (e.g., parasite infestation) has been detected in only one or certain animals, to limit or avoid spreading of and contamination to the other members of the animal population.
  • A” sub-clinical condition is typically a condition that is not directly leading to clinical symptoms in the parasite-infested animal but leading to economic losses. Such economic losses can be e.g. by depression of growth in young animals, lower feed efficiency, lower weight gain in meat producing animals, lower milk production in ruminants, or lower wool-production in sheep.
  • parasitoses relates to clinically manifest pathologic conditions and disease of an animal that is associated with or caused by an infestation of the animal by the parasite directly, such as, for example, anemia and dermatitis. It also includes pathologic conditions or diseases associated with one or more vector- transmitted pathogens that is transmitted by the parasite.
  • treatment of parasitoses means to partially or completely inhibit the development of parasitoses of an animal, reduce or completely eliminate the symptoms of parasitoses of an animal, and/or partially or completely cure existing parasitoses of an animal.
  • Hyalomma spp. ticks transmit a number of viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases making these ticks economically important.
  • the Hyalomma spp. ticks may also act as reservoir of many viral pathogens.

  • Drenching means that a liquid, potentially slightly viscous, composition comprising the compound and excipients is applied via the mouth with a specific drenching gun that dispenses a compound into the sheep or cattle, goat or camel’s throat.
  • Semi-solid oral formulations are generally administered via an applicator directly into the mouth of an animal or mixed with the feed. They are especially suitable for horses.
  • Solid oral formulations are either administered directly to an animal (tablet, capsule, bolus) or mixed with the feed or via medicated feed blocks.
  • the oral formulation When the oral formulation is administered via an animal's feed, it may be fed as a discrete feed or as a chewable treat.
